SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,938, dated'nAugust.ll, 1882.

Application filed December 14, 1881. (No model.) 7 i To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN MAXWELL and JOHN EINSFIELD, of Oneida, in the countyof Madison, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Moldin gs, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, isa full,

clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a novel construction and combination of ornamental moldings hav-r in g their surfaces covered or faced with woolen silk, or other suitable textile fabric.

'The invention is fully illustrated in the annexed drawings,wherein Figure 1 isaface viewof the improved molding and its back piece or; Figs. 2 and 3 are face views of the afore-;

suitable textile fabric, smoothly applied to and? glued or cemented on the surface of the margins c c, and extending either partlyor wholly across the surface of the recess r.

The molding B constitutes the back piece or base of another molding, A, of proper width to fit into the recessr aforesaid. Said molding A consists of a wooden body of semi-columnar form, with spiral or oblique ribs 24 a and intervening indentations e e on its convex side, the whole resembling a longitudinal section of a twisted rope. A facing, a, of woolen, silk, or

othertextile fabric, stretched across the convex face of the body Aand smoothly tittedinlo the indentations e 0 thereof, the Longitudinal edges of said facing lapping onto the back of the body A, and being glued or cemented there? A continuous cord, d, wound around the body A over the facing a, and drawn into the indentations ee, greatly facilitates the applicationand adjustment of the facin g a, and at the same time improves the appearance of the molding. The body A, thus prepared, is secured with its back in the recessr of the base B by screws 21, inserted fromthe rear of the said base and entering the back of the moldingA.

Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination,with the spiral semi-columnar body A, of the facing a, of woolen, silk, or

other textile fabric, applied to the convex side of said body and lapping onto the back thereof, and the continuous cord 01, wound around the body A over the facing a, and drawn into .the indentations e e, substantially as described and shown.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto signed our names and affixed our seals ln the presence of two attesting witnesses, at Oneida,

in the county of Madison, in the State of New York, this 28th day of November, 1881.
